THE THREAD

Before you guys all hoot 'n holler, she's great.  We get along wonderfully.

[Mike Solli]

My wife also has a brother and sister who live in that area too.

[Mike Solli]

My brother-in-law is my normal fishing/crabbing, golfing and gaming partner when we get together.

[Mike Solli]

He's also in the Guard and is currently being deployed to Iraq. [:(] 

[Mike Solli]

The sister-in-law, married with a couple of kids, has decided on a divorce.  No details about that here.......

[Mike Solli]

Anyway, she moved back in with her mother. [X(] 

[Mike Solli]

When my mother-in-law visits here, she stays with us and when we visit, we stay with her.  It's always been that way.

[Mike Solli]

So, there was the 4 of us, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and her 2 kids in a small house with 1 bathroom. [X(] [:(]

[Mike Solli]

Absolutely no place to go to be alone.

[Mike Solli]

I really need to be alone at times.

[Mike Solli]

People sometimes make me crazy.

[Mike Solli]

I came pretty close this trip. [:(]

[Mike Solli]

So, every morning I grabbed my brother-in-law's stuff and headed to the coast to do some crabbing.

[Mike Solli]

The first day I came back with a dozen + and cooked them up.  We all sat around and feasted on them (all but my kids who don't like crab).

[Mike Solli]

Let me digress a bit.

[Mike Solli]

I love my sister-in-law dearly, but I can take her and my nephew and niece in small doses only (along with her husband). 

[Mike Solli]

They're noisy and the kids are spoiled rotten.

UCTJ violation! Cease and desist at once!

[Mike Solli]

Not sure about the leaning of the nephew either (and we all know I'm a card carrying homophobe).

[Mike Solli]

Thanks T.  I really don't want to faber - just vent. [:D]
